Ecosystems and Diversity of Living Things Final Project
Now that you have put together all of the living organisms in your ecosystem, it is time to show the world what you have discovered! You will create a visual representation of your ecosystem. This can be any of the following
A large drawing done on Poster Board
A 3D model
A video or movie documentary showing your ecosystem
A computer created representation
Any idea that you have but please run it by me first
In your final project, include the following
All animals that you created.
All plant life that you created.
All micro-organisms that you created.
A food web showing the connection between all the producers, consumers and decomposers.
A description (visual and written) of the change that happened to your ecosystem.
A description (visual and written) of how your ecosystem returned to balance.
You will be displaying and describing your ecosystem to the class in a short presentation.
